Happy Tuesday! It's time for Rob & Rob to answer two more great questions from our listeners!   (0:46) Sam's a first-time buyer and has found a property that looks like a great investment. He knows getting a buy-to-let mortgage might be tricky, so he's considering using a residential mortgage with consent to let. He asks Rob & Rob whether this is a smart strategy and for their take on this approach.  (4:07) Karan's in the process of buying a property in London but has hit a roadblock after discovering the lease includes a ground rent clause with no cap on future increases, which is making his lender nervous. They're asking for a deed of variation, which the management company is happy to do, if the seller pays a £10k fee. He wants to know if his lender's being overly cautious, if the fee is excessive, and how to avoid ending up with a problematic asset.  Enjoy the show?  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Send us your question here – just hit record!.  Find out more about Property Hub Invest

It's a rough ride on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, as Geordie and Michelle look at bad cults… If you were a child with scholastic issues or behavioural problems in the early 1980s in the UK, you might have been sent to a Red House alternative education facility. The brochures told of an idyllic boarding school where children who had suffered abuse or neglect at home could thrive in an environment where sailing and horse riding were interspersed with reading, writing and arithmetic. The reality was that the Red House schools were institutions where children were regularly beaten, humiliated, sexually abused and forced into slave labour. Listen now for Geordie's deep dive into Red House schools, the Danish founding organisation Tvind and a discussion about why it was a cult hiding in plain sight... Michelle follows with a look at a harrowing New Zealand cult called Gloriavale. Tucked away on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island is a religious group that was meant to be a spiritual utopia - the men worked, the women raised kids and everyone lived by the word of god and shared the spoils of communal labour. On paper, Gloriavale sounds like a dream - but it's a cult, where men are in control and women are trained to submit, serve and stay silent. Who started this cult? How is it off the international radar? And is the cult still going now? Listen to find out.So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about Steiner Schools, Geordie's celeb Young Ones moment, Michelle's celeb encounter with a top pop star at LAX, a guardian angel encounter from Eavesdropper Steph, plus a near miss love triangle with a Hollywood A-Lister from Eavesdropper Roxanne and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

Keep reading, and you'll find out why that was such a hilarious pun.In this episode, Dave and Hayden take a question from a listener which has crossed countless minds. The listener does an excellent job of providing their financial details, so the Aussie FIRE duo can really dive in. In essence, though, the question boils down to:“Should my partner and I max out our borrowing capacity and buy our dream home now? Or should we keep investing and hope we can afford it in the future?”As always, the listener's circumstances are unique, and may not apply to you. Having said that, you may find some food for thought for your own property journey. Beyond this listener's question, Dave and Hayden also share their thoughts on bonds, and buying the dip.Enjoy!FI Case Study Request FormPearlerStrong Money AustraliaOriginal Aussie FIRE e-bookStrong Money Australia's audiobookDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it's appropriate for you.

The Bedrosians have been longtime supporters of White Sulphur Springs, OCF's eastern Conference Center located in Manns Choice, Pa.

They share influential anecdotes, like being reminded of their identity as missionaries in uniform, keeping symbolic “rocks” with spiritual truths, and renaming chores “blessings” because of a simple spatula on a dining room table at WSS.

What impactful advice have you received, and have you shared it with others?  Scott calls a stay at WSS an “investment in your family and in your ministry.” What might be the difference that makes your average vacation that kind of investment instead?

Episode Title: October 16, 2024 - Holiday Sales Forecast, Conn's Bankruptcy Update, and Wayfair Warehouse ClosureEpisode Summary: In today's episode of Furniture Industry News, we cover three major stories impacting the furniture sector:Holiday Sales Forecast: The National Retail Federation (NRF) predicts modest growth in holiday spending for 2024, with a 2.5% to 3.5% increase over last year. Total spending is projected to reach up to $989 billion, driven by a robust 8% to 9% rise in online sales, which could hit $298 billion. With fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the compressed holiday season may affect consumer behavior, though strong household finances are expected to sustain spending.Conn's Bankruptcy Update: Jefferson Capital Systems has successfully bid $360 million for the assets of Conn's HomePlus and Badcock Home Furniture &more, as no other bids were submitted by the October 11 deadline. A court hearing on October 24 will determine the approval of the sale. Conn's, which filed for bankruptcy in July, is currently conducting liquidation sales. The deal's outcome may significantly alter the furniture retail landscape.Wayfair's Warehouse Closure: Wayfair plans to close its Florence, Kentucky warehouse by the end of 2025, resulting in 218 job losses. The 200,000-square-foot facility, which also functioned as a retail store, reflects broader trends in the industry as companies streamline operations in response to the shift toward online sales.Key Takeaways:E-Commerce Opportunities: The NRF's strong online sales outlook highlights a growing opportunity for furniture retailers with a digital presence.Retail Shifts: Conn's bankruptcy and Wayfair's warehouse closure signal ongoing industry changes, with implications for competition and market adaptation.

In this episode of Furniture Industry News, we dive into the latest developments affecting the furniture sector, covering key topics like labor strikes, market trends, consumer spending, and important company updates.Key Highlights:Dock Workers' Strike SuspendedA tentative agreement has been reached between the International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance, suspending the dock workers' strike at East and Gulf coast ports. This move stabilizes the supply chain, ensuring the continued flow of furniture shipments. Dockworkers will receive a substantial $4 per hour wage increase each year for the next six years—a 62% raise over the life of the contract. However, some details, such as port automation, are still being negotiated.Furniture Industry Market TrendsThe industry is facing a decline in new orders, with a 5% drop in July following decreases in May and June. While year-to-date orders are up by 2%, the market is still struggling due to weakened consumer confidence. On a positive note, furniture shipments increased by 6% in July compared to last year, though inventories are lower.Consumer Spending ShiftsThe furniture retail sector saw a 2% drop in sales for September, as consumers shifted spending to technology, healthcare, and education. However, year-over-year sales are up by 0.8%. Other retail sectors, like general merchandise, are seeing much higher growth.Conn's HomePlus and Badcock BankruptcyJefferson Capital Systems has submitted a $360 million stalking horse bid in the bankruptcy case for Conn's HomePlus and Badcock Home Furniture. This bid sets the baseline for future auction offers, with the bankruptcy court set to review any objections by October 7th.Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Brand RelaunchSurya Inc. will relaunch the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams brand at the High Point Market from October 25th to 30th. The brand's new collection features signature upholstery and expanded offerings of case goods. A cocktail reception will be held on October 27th to celebrate the relaunch.Industry Impact:Supply Chain Stability: The resolution of the dock workers' strike is a major relief for importers and the broader furniture supply chain.Economic Concerns: Continued decreases in new orders and shifts in consumer spending patterns are warning signs for manufacturers and retailers.Brand Revitalization: The relaunch of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams highlights the importance of innovation and collaboration within the furniture design community.Stay tuned for future episodes to stay informed about key industry developments.Subscribe for the latest updates on the furniture industry.

Here's what you need to know:Top Stories:Market Rebound in Q2 2024:Home Furnishings Sector: The sector saw a slight recovery driven by easing inflation and increased spending from renters. Furniture retailers' sales were down 6% year-over-year, an improvement from the 9% decline in Q1. Mattress and bedding spending also showed a reduced decline, signaling potential stabilization.Home Decor: Remained stable, reflecting a shift in consumer priorities toward affordable, functional, and personalized living spaces.Bankruptcy Auctions:Conn's HomePlus and Badcock Home Furniture &more: Both bankrupt retailers are heading to auction. Assets include consumer loans, real estate, and inventory. The auction is set for September 11, with a bid submission deadline on September 6. This event could lead to significant shifts in the market.Labor Disputes Impacting Supply Chains:Canadian Rail Workers Strike: 9,300 workers may strike, threatening to halt 75% of Canadian exports to the U.S.U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast Dockworkers: Facing contract expirations, which could further disrupt the supply chain if a strike occurs.Perigold's Expansion:Brick-and-Mortar Store Launch: Perigold, a luxury brand under Wayfair, will open its first physical store in West Palm Beach, FL, in fall 2025. This 30,000-square-foot store will feature high-end brands like Century and Visual Comfort, marking a significant move from online to physical retail.Company Performance Highlights:La-Z-Boy: Reported a 3% sales increase in Q1, driven by a 5% rise in wholesale segment sales, despite challenges in retail sales.Macy's: Sales dropped by 3.8% in Q2, but profitability was maintained. Notably, their "First 50" pilot stores showed positive performance, indicating strategic initiatives are paying off.TJX Companies: Saw an increase in customer transactions and comparable store sales, particularly in apparel and home goods, thanks to their value-driven, off-price model.Flexsteel: Achieved a 4.7% increase in net sales in Q4, continuing its positive growth trend for the third consecutive quarter.Target: Reported a 2% rise in total comparable sales, with strong performance in women's apparel and beauty categories, despite softness in home goods.Conclusion:Stay tuned to Furniture Industry News for continued updates and insights on these developments.

Harris has reportedly cut her pool of possible running mates (競選夥伴) down to just two. As Nick Harper reports from Washington. Venezuela AttorneyGeneral Investigating Gonzalez Venezuela's top prosecutor has announced a criminal investigation against the opposition's presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez and its leader Maria Corina Machado. The attorney general says the case is related to their call on the armed forces to abandon their support for President Nicolas Maduro and to stop repressing (鎮壓) demonstrators. The statement tied the investigation directly to a written appeal the two members of the opposition sent hours earlier about Maduro and the demonstrators who have come out in force to defend their votes in the July 28 election. The attorney general says the duo “falsely announced a winner of the presidential election other than the one proclaimed by the National Electoral Council" and they openly incited (煽動) “police and military officials to disobey the laws.” That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July 18th               Publish Date:  July 18th      Commercial: GON :30 From the Ingles Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Thursday, July 18th and Happy heavenly Birthday to astronaut John Glenn. ***07.18.24 – BIRTHDAY – JOHN GLENN*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Cobb County and Six Cities Enter Historic Mediation at Marietta Hilton Cobb School Board to Set Millage Rate Cobb Denies Austell Man Selling Antiques from Home   Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seedless watermelons.   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: ‘Historic': Cobb County and Cities Enter Mediation   In a historic development, Cobb County and its six cities are undergoing formal mediation for the first time under state law regarding Service Delivery Strategy Agreements. Held at the Marietta Hilton, the mediation aims to resolve disputes over how services and funding are distributed between the county and cities, crucial for state compliance. Issues include differing interpretations of duplicate services and fiscal responsibilities, with potential consequences like loss of state funding if no agreement is reached by October 31. Mableton, transitioning to cityhood, observes closely as its services depend on the mediation's outcome. STORY 2: Cobb Scholl Board to Set Milage Rate   The Cobb County Board of Education is set to decide on maintaining a flat millage rate of 18.7 mills for 2024, despite rising property values expected to bring in an additional $54.96 million in tax revenue, a 7.32% increase from last year. While this won't increase taxes, homeowners could see an average increase of $255.17 in property taxes for a $450,000 home. Debate among board members includes potential implications of rolling back the millage rate to mitigate tax hikes, amid community concerns over tax burdens and budget allocations already in place. Public input will influence the final decision at tonight's meeting. STORY 3: Cobb Denies Austell Man Selling Antiques from Home This week, the Cobb Board of Commissioners rejected Edwin Stafford's request to operate an antique store and yard sale from his home on Austell Powder Springs Road. Stafford sought a 24-month permit to sell antiques on weekends after complaints from neighbors and businesses about his previous unauthorized sales. Despite Stafford's plea that this business was his livelihood, Commissioner Monique Sheffield cited ongoing violations of county codes and noted that Stafford's activities didn't fit the area's development plans, which aim to attract more structured businesses. The board unanimously denied Stafford's application, leaving him to consider alternatives for sustaining his business. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We'll be right back  Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Proposed East Cobb Whataburger Deferred The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to extend Whataburger's request for a site plan change for a new restaurant at the former O'Charley's location in east Cobb. The fast-food chain, aiming to establish its fifth Cobb County location, faced delays due to incomplete architectural landscaping plans. Issues arose regarding compliance with Cobb County Tree Ordinance parking lot tree standards, requiring adjustments such as additional parking lot peninsulas. The proposed site plan conflicts with prior land-use restrictions prohibiting fast-food restaurants and drive-thru services, stipulated in a settlement with Sembler Retail and Sembler Family Partnership in 1999. The matter will be reconsidered at the next zoning hearing on August 20.
